While we are drowning in a sea of noise about the ‘future of work’, real solutions to actual workplace questions are thin on the ground.

Through comprehensive research carried out with employers and employees across Australia and New Zealand, EY found that change at the organisational level is accelerating through investment in AI, blockchain and machine learning. In stark contrast, complacency regarding readiness still pervades both upper levels of business and government as well as the broader workforce.

To meet those challenges, EY is calling for government, organisations and education to come together and address our immediate need for readiness.

It’s time to define the future, understand it and ensure we don’t sleepwalk into tomorrow.
